Greetings all. I have a recipe for a beer I want to brew (January 25th on 365 day beer calender for those who are curious).
First thing is "4oz extra special bitter malt"
I've checked a few places and cannot find that one. Any idea where I can find it or a substitute for it?
Second thing is "London Ale Yeast" If I am correct, thats a pretty generic description of a yeast. Arnt there quite a few varieties? This recipe calls for fermenting 62-66 degrees. Is there a yeast that will work better at a higher temp, say 68-72? My temperature is not something I have control and those are my ranges.
Thanks!
Full recipe:
4 oz Honey malt
4 oz extra special bitter malt
1 lb medium crystal malt
7lb light malt extract syrup
1 3/4 oz kent golding hops (60 min)
1 oz KG hops (20 minutes)
1 oz fuggle hops (2 min)
Steep grains in 160 degF for 30 minutes. Add dry [sic?] malt extract, boil, add hops as indicated. Pitch when cooled to 75-80. Ferment 3-6 days @ 62-66. Then rack to second (1-2 weeks)
I noticed as I typed this it said steep grains then add DRY malt extract. I assume the honey malt, ESB malt and crystal malt are grains to be steeped? Was the recipe a typo talking about adding the liquid malt extract?
thanks again!
